It is no secret that Rafael Nadal is a fan favourite – but it turns out former world No.1 Andre Agassi is one of his biggest supporters.
The eight-time Grand Slam champion has penned a handwritten letter of admiration to the Spanish player, describing his achievements as “remarkable”.
“You make me believe in life that anything is achievable and nothing is impossible,” Agassi scribes.
